A thread is usually defined as a ''light weight process'' because an operating system $$(OS)$$ maintains smaller data structures for a thread than for a process. In relation to this, which of the following is TRUE?

On per-thread basis, the $$OS$$ maintains only $$CPU$$ register state.

The $$OS$$ does not maintain a separate stack for each thread

On per-thread basis, the $$OS$$ does not maintain virtual memory state.

On per-thread basis, the $$OS$$ maintains only scheduling and accounting
